National context — Travel Agency insurance overview

A travel agency's defining exposure isn't a slip in the office — it's a booking error: the wrong dates, a missed visa requirement, a supplier that fails after the client paid. Errors & omissions (professional liability) is the line the trade stands on; general liability covers the premises, and cyber coverage matters because agencies hold passports, payment cards and itineraries. Host-agency contracts and seller-of-travel registration shape what independent agents must carry.

As an industry-typical estimate, a small agency commonly runs roughly $400–$1,500+/year for E&O, with GL or a BOP added for an office location. No insurance bureau publishes agency premiums, so every dollar here is an estimate; each fact is sourced to a named authority (IRMI, III, NCCI, FTC).
